In the midst of the Second World War, the wives of British officers in India gather in Pankot. The novel portrays the social and racial tensions of the colony: as the conflict nears its end, many trust Captain Merrick and the army to uphold the imperial order, though the country is heading toward imminent change.
Third instalment of the tetralogy «El cuarteto del Raj», whose other titles are «La joya de la Corona», «El día del Escorpión» and «Reparto de despojos». Translation by Jaime Zulaika.
For readers of historical fiction and British narrative set in the colonial era.
Paul Mark Scott was an English novelist best known for his tetralogy The Raj Quartet. In the last years of his life, his novel Staying On won the Booker Prize (1977). The series of books was dramatised by Granada Television during the 1980s and won Scott the public and critical acclaim that he had not received during his lifetime.
